Dr. Juliet Burke (née Carlson) is a former member of the Others currently with Sawyer's group of survivors. During her time with the Others, she enjoyed a relative leadership position as a gifted fertility specialist and lived at the Barracks, but grew increasingly desperate to get off the Island to visit her dying sister. However, Ben prolonged her stay on the island indefinitely because he thought of her as "his." Juliet has a background in reproductive medicine, and acted as the fertility doctor for the Others after being recruited by Richard Alpert for Mittelos Bioscience. She left the Others with hopes of leaving the Island with the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, but was distrusted by all of them except Jack. Despite the circumstances, Jack and Juliet bonded during their last few days on the Island before Jack left and Juliet remained behind after Ben moved the Island. She was last seen in the 1970s, working as a mechanic for the DHARMA Initiative, along with some of her fellow castaways. She was involved romantically with Sawyer, also a member of DHARMA, until the Incident occured, during which she attempted to detonate the core of Jughead. As of The Incident, her fate has been left up in the air.
